About this file

This is a Federal Provisions Addendum issued by Michigan.gov/MiProcurement that applies to state and local contracts funded in whole or in part with federal government funds. The addendum establishes mandatory compliance requirements for contractors and their subcontractors and clarifies that when federal provisions conflict with state terms and conditions, the federal requirements take priority to the extent required by federal law. The document addresses applicability of various federal statutes and regulations, including the Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and Clean Air Act, and specifies that many of these provisions do not apply to the contract in question because it does not meet threshold requirements (such as being a construction contract or exceeding specified dollar amounts).

The addendum establishes several mandatory compliance obligations for contractors, including verification that neither the contractor nor its principals or affiliates are listed in the System for Award Management (SAM) exclusions database; compliance with debarment and suspension regulations under 2 CFR Parts 180 and 3000; prohibition on use of covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined under the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act; preference for purchase of domestic products and materials; affirmative steps to utilize small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises in subcontracting when applicable; compliance with EPA procurement requirements for recovered materials; and copyright and data rights provisions allowing the federal awarding agency royalty-free use of work products. Contractors must report any identified covered telecommunications equipment or services within one business day and provide additional mitigation information within ten business days. The addendum requires contractors to include equivalent provisions in all lower-tier subcontracts and certifies that material misrepresentation of compliance may result in federal remedies including suspension and debarment.

Michigan.gov/MiProcurement Federal Provisions AddenduM This addendum applies to purchases that will be paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the federal government. The provisions below are required, and the language is not negotiable. Contractor agrees to comply with all obligations under federal rules or regulations for such funding, including but not limited to the provisions contained in this addendum. If any provision below conflicts with the State’s terms and conditions, including any attachments, schedules, or exhibits to this Contract, the provisions below take priority to the extent a provision is required by federal law; otherwise, the order of precedence set forth in the Contract applies. Further, Contractor agrees to, through a Contract Change Notice, append or modify specific federal provisions to this Contract, if reasonably necessary to keep the State and Contractor in compliance with federal funding requirements, and comply with the terms set forth therein. Hyperlinks are provided for convenience only; broken hyperlinks will not relieve Contractor from compliance with the law.
